Picking up a complete (hopefully) green velvet interior out of my brother-in-law's Cressida tomorrow. His car got smashed a few days ago, and I've had my eyes on his interior since he bought the car, lol. Sooo, he told me I could have it if I put my interior back in his car. Pretty excited, pics tomorrow. Also I'll be pulling his spare tire as well, bringing me up to just one wheel shy of a complete set of x7 spares for winter .

To be honest, I've been seriously thinking about scrapping my air ride plans recently. I've started a bit of a motorcycle hobby recently that is taking up quite a bit of my extra funds. Also, I can't figure out a way to do the front that I consider "safe". I've been thinking about buying some t3 front weld in coilovers since I have the rest of the t3 front system already. Well see. This has always just been my fun daily, and I think if I get too deep into it, it's going to turn into another project and I'll never get to enjoy it.

Picked up the interior yesterday. The car was parked in a stripmall parking lot in Seattle, so I looked like a desperate tweaker stripping a smashed up cressida in a parking lot for about 3 hours, lol. The things we do for rare green interior bits .

Air ride is abandoned. Car is not, just a little neglected. Got a 510 that is going to be kind of a track car project, and also a few motorcycle projects, so rather than turn this thing into another project, I'm going to just do a proper coilovers suspension and repaint it this spring/summer. Id like to just continue to daily drive this thing, its never let me down.

Yessir I am. Might bring it up slightly when I get my coilovers, but not by much. I'm sure even at the same height, it would ride much better with a bit more travel up front. Trailer Park Boys is great, btw. The last 2 seasons were meh, but the rest and the first movie were amazing!

Haha, that never bothered me. I just don't really have a desire to swap this thing, and jzxp is kind of a more performance-driven forum. Which isn't a bad thing, I'm just trying to keep a nice looking reliable daily though, so 5m suits me just fine.

T3 coilovers showed up... and I'm having fitment trouble. The sleeves don't seem to want to slip over the strut tubes, neither do the weld on perches. I was thinking that maybe they need to be heated to go over the tubes, but I don't want to ruin them and eliminate the option to return them if they still don't fit. Anyone have experience with T3 coilovers on x7s?

I've seen write-ups on installs for the ae86, and the sleeves fit so loose on them that they need to install o-rings to keep them centered, so I find it odd that I would have to heat up a kit for the x7. Instructions would be nice T3, lol.
